Back from jury duty and my final film class of the semester. Although I worked in downtown Chicago for 31 years I had forgotten in the last 8 years how incredibly awful the cold and winds are in those concrete canyons! A miserable couple of days. This was taken in the warmth of summer at the prairie preserve.

Just be glad you aren't in Buffalo right now! I hate the cold too...and a lot of snow. This shot of the egret is a warming one. Nice clarity, color and sunlight. Excellent shot, Kathy.

A nice capture of the egret patiently waiting to catch fish. The only ones who like winter are the ones who go skiing Kathy.

He/she is so watchful, this is a such a good close up. I think buildings just add to the problem by creating wind tunnels.

Amazing that the 'release' of such an excellent image was delayed that much. Incredible close-up Kathy. Couldn't do this any better. Kudos!

PS: take care with these wint'ry conditions in the USA.

I was beginning to think downtown Chicago had a heat blast and a sanctuary for Egrets, Kathy.
So when is your first movie coming out?
Excellent shot by the way.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
